[Morphohistochemical studies of the carp intestines in bothriocephaliasis].

Morphohistochemical study of host-parasite relationships after the infection of carp with Bothriocephalus opsariichthydis was conducted. It has been found out that the whole parasite's strobile comes into close contact with tissues of the mucous membrane of the carp's gut. The destruction of the gut's wall results from its digestion or lysis that is confirmed by high activity of acid phosphatase. Together with epithelium of the mucous membrane of the gut exodermis of the helminth takes an active part in the digestion that is proved by similar histochemical processes.
